Failures require the time to be studied

PM: Its nice to have every one back to practice. It kinda was dumb when it was just me. But today Coach, Kimz and i did the trail behind arctic circle and then finished it up the industrial road. :) Cool run. I just got a job so i could pay for all the fees that are coming up with track and the shoes i need so this month is going to be hell.  Christmas season for caterers is the worst. But i really enjoy working hard. And working hard means money which means the new 2140's that im looking forward to buying soon, and really soon with my shoes slowly creeping toward 600.

I have decided to take the smart way and not run today.  I developed some sick shin splints doin one stupid 1000. I felt it half way through the run. But ill be just fine tomorrow. Icing it up does wonders.

Woke up this morning to run. It was butt cold out side! like 36 degrese! I havent ran in weather that cold in forever. But it was alright. I would have gone farther but my shins were totally on fire! and once again it was BUTT cold!!!

Just a quick dog pound backwards with coach kimz and danny boy.  Feels nice to just sit back and run with close friends.

Today was our last time mile in pe. I decided to wear all the cool stuff like my race uniform and shoes just for fun. I wasnt going to race that hard.  I did a 4:59. just a nice mile. yeah i pushed but not all out. Then Coach Kimz and i did the roller coaster run or ( im going to totally slaughter this) Shnob kiah run. Its nice to have people to run with. Im definatly not looking forward to wed thur and fri, i have work at 3:15 those days so i wont even be able to get a couple in.

Today it was just me and coach. We did the firestation 6. Not a bad run, a little chilly but not bad at all. Im so not looking forward to running in the morning. But i do want to be the best that i can be so. . . . ya

Holy crap! It was freaking cold this morning. But this time i was prepaired. I was actually really warm till i stoped. But yeah im excited for the next 2 days of early moring running. :)

I was planing on running right after work, but i didnt get off till about 10:30. And i was wasted. Standing around for 7 hours takes it toll on you.

AM: I finally got time to get our and do a run!!!! It felt so good to get the garmin back on the wrist and my tiny shorts!!! I did a loop out through bloomington hills and back. Just an awesome run, felt good, nice temps.  Every thing was perfect, except i would like a running buddie with me.  I get kinda board and start talking to my self.

PM: IT WAS SNOWING TODAY!!! Im sure most of you knew that but i thought i would put that.  :) But Ruth my sweet wife ( jk ) came to run with us today.  We did the river 8.  I was prepaired for the snow but not the wind. i for got my gloves so my hands almost froze off!!! But still an awesome run!

Got to test out the new shoes. They feel great! I love them.  Today we did the arctic circle trail 5. Nice run, i was prity tired from yesterday fighting the wind, but still just a nice run. Ruth was with us for a little bit then turned around for 1000's

PM: Coach kimz and i  did the roller coaster run today in the butt cold weather.  But still a very enjoyable run.  My legs feel excelent today, not sure why but i was hammered yesterday.  But i do need to invest in a good pair of running gloves. im going to lose my fingers one of these times. Right as we finished our run it started snowing again. Not bad timing. ;)

PM: Today we decided to do our time trail on the region course at pine view for next year.  Coach, Kimz, Decker, Willy and I were the only ones racing.  We did the course for our warm up, and shortly found out that it was going to be hard with the mudd and the snow.  But still fun.  So we started out and i almost face planted into the mudd! We were all busting up laughing while trying to run fast.  We got to the big loops and coach was infront of me by like 5 m and i couldnt catch him!  I kept slipping!!! My shoes wouldnt grip to get the push to catch him.  But when we were on the pavement i was right up there.  Then on the way down to the finnish i passed coach up and won.  We had a great time. Im really excited for this course. :)

Ugh!!! I feel like crap! Last night at work i could tell that i was going to be sick today, and lo and behold . . . i am.  I know this sounds like a case of wussitus but i feel like crap. Ill be lucky if i can make it through work today without dying!!! This sucks. I was super excited to get the new shoes out and run on them.  And im reading once a runner and its making matters worse, i just plain want to RUN!  But i dont want to get super sick over the christmas break. that would suck.  So ill play it safe today and not run. But sure as heck im going to run later if i feel good!

I woke up this morning and felt way better than yesterday.  I love pain killers. But i will probibly just do a small run to see what the body tells me.

Got a decent nights sleep, did the paper route and then fell back asleep again.  Then got a super protein breakfast in (4 eggs 2 8 oz glass milk and 2 sasuage patties) then set out on a run.  Today i went out into dogtown and just bummed around. I wanted to keep it close so in case i wasnt feeling to well i could get back with out getting to far out.  That Coach Holt. . . . always wearing me out ;)  But im feeling well now. :)

YEHAAAAA I finally feel okay enough to get out and run.  Danny boy and devin joined me on a easy 4 to my work and back. :) lungs are okay. I need to get to bed pretty early if im going to race on wednesday.

Got a decent nights sleep.  Woke up throat felt great compared to other days, i had a little bit of mucas in the back but its no problem.  Then i headed out to snow canyon to run with my cousin.  We bassically looped all the way around santa clara. Good run solid 7:40 pace. :)

Went out at about 12 with danny down to the trail.  Just a nice easy 6.  It was actuall pretty warm. I had to shed a layer. My throat is about healed all the way, so im excited for that.
